Explanation Given information: The given probability density function is p ( x ) = C x ( 4 − x ) on [ 0 , 4 ] . Given probability is P ( 3 ≤ X ≤ 4 ) . Formula used: A function p ( x ) will be a probability density function of a random variable X , if it satisfies the following condition. 1). p ( x ) ≥ 0 for all x ∈ R 2). ∫ − ∞ ∞ p ( x ) d x = 1 3). P ( a ≤ X ≤ b ) = ∫ a b p ( x ) d x = F ( b ) − F ( a ) such that F is an antiderivative of p . The power rule of indefinite integrals. ∫ x n d x = x n n + 1 + C Calculation: Let us consider the given probability density function. p ( x ) = C x ( 4 − x ) Now p ( x ) should satisfy the condition ∫ − ∞ ∞ p ( x ) d x = 1
